Biographical info[edit]

What is the source for the biographical info? All of the references are primary/technical literature. PDCook (talk) 14:11, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that the biographical material is a copy of http://www.astronautix.com/astros/rhode.htm, which states © Mark Wade, 1997 - 2008 at the bottom. The material was added to WP with this edit in 2009 by a seemingly inactive user. Given those dates, I think this material was copied into WP and is a copyright violation. I might rewrite this page soon. PDCook (talk) 14:32, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The ultimate source of this material appears to be NASA, so the work is most likely public domain. I've properly cited the material and added the public domain template. I still may rewrite it. PDCook (talk) 15:01, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
